Justice
Noob
I totally agree that it adds depth and strategy to gameplay. Just like interactibles in Injustice do. It's just my opinion that it's a gimmick because I don't like it. My experience with MKT amounts to getting bodied by Jade for a couple of matches on the easiest difficulty level and me saying "eff dis!" LolIt would be like SF4 without dash. It would be incredibly boring and would have less depth.
The run button wasn't a gimmick though, it was a mechanic put in place to improve gameplay. And it alone not only increased the pace, but drastically improved the gameplay. And yes, MK2 with a larger cast = snooze fest, at least for me.
Basically, I respect the hell out of anyone that can play MKT. I'll just never be one of them
